Chicago Cubs, Cubs News, Yoervis Medina

According to Cardenales de Lara, a Venezuelan Winter League team, and Lider en Deportes, former Chicago Cubs pitcher Yoervis Medina has passed away in a fatal car crash. Medina, age 37, reportedly suffered a heart attack, causing him to strike another vehicle, thus taking his life. Medina pitched in the big leagues from 2013-2015, but spent 17 total season playing professional baseball, originally starting his journey as an International Signee with the Seattle Mariners.

In 2015, a season where the Cubs posted a 97-65 record and made it to the National League Championship Series, Chicago traded for Medina in early May, sending catcher Welington Castillo to the Seattle Mariners. At the time of the deal, Medina had a 3.00 ERA over 12 appearances. With the Cubs, he made just five big league appearances, being shuttled between the Major and Minor Leagues for the majority of that season.

At seasons end, Medina was designated for assignment by the organization. A 6.29 ERA in Triple-A was not encouraging enough for him to be retained, but the Pittsburgh Pirates initially signed him, before trading him to the Philadelphia Phillies before the 2016 season could even begin. From there, he never returned to the big leagues, but until 2020 he bounced around in the Minor Leagues for a few different organizations. Additionally, he pitched in Venezuela, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Nicaragua.

Medina’s passing marks a somber moment for the baseball community. Though his Major League career was short-lived, spanning from 2013-2015, he spent nearly two decades in professional baseball, signaling a journey reflective of perseverance and passion. His untimely death at just 37 serves as a reminder of life’s fragility and the lasting impact of those who give their all to the sport.
